I had a great time at the hostel! We had some cleaning and closing tasks, as the end of the season was nearing. Joaquín was quite flexible with the schedule, allowing me and another volunteer to finish at similar times so we could enjoy some time together. The hostel is located in a beautiful seaside town, and it's about 4 blocks away from the beach. Couldn't dream better for my first volunteering experience. Vamos arriba the hostel! Gracias por todo :)

Muy agradecida con todo el grupo el hostel. El lugar es hermoso! Las tareas muy sencillas y bien explicadas. Los turnos de trabajo se respetan de manera impecable. Me tocaron compañeros excelentes y me llevo recuerdos increíbles, para toda la vida. Sin duda recomiendo el hostel para hacer voluntariado o bien reservar y disfrutar unos días allí. El intercambio cultural es espectacular dado que toman voluntarios de otros países constantemente.
